Paradise by Way of Kensal Green is so much more than a pub. I have enjoyed boozy brunches here, danced the night away to upbeat DJ sets and relished romantic dinners in the grand dining room.
Thanks to head chef Cat Ashton (previously at Petersham Nurseries) the food on offer at Paradise is better than ever with the kitchen presenting creative dishes showcasing the best of British ingredients. This season, Paradise welcome a host of talented chefs into the kitchen for their exciting supperclub events. The series will feature Ella Woodward (Deliciously Ella) on 17th May, Nicolas Balfe (Salon Brixton) on 16th June, Adam Rawson (Young British Foodie award winner) in September, and Anna Jones (cook, stylist and writer) in October.
I joined a group of food enthusiasts for the opening evening of Cat’s Spring Supperclub, which is kicking off the summer series. Our evening feast featured imaginative treats like Stinging nettle & cave-aged cheddar souffle, Slow cooked lamb shoulder with truffled pecorino and Vanilla cheesecake with early season strawberries. But my favourites were the luxuriously rich and woody Morel mushrooms with garlic bruschetta and Drunken pineapple with prosecco jelly.
The food perfectly suits the setting, rustic with a twist of sophistication, and plenty of character and flavour. The Paradise parlour has a lovely atmosphere and is particularly good for groups, so get together all your friends for a night of delicious food and fun.
Supperclub tickets are priced at £35 and can be booked here.
